People tend to be more tolerant of shoplifters, a thief is a thief no matter what they steal, given the opportunity they would steal an old persons purse.
We should do like other countries chop their hands off. |

That's not true, we are more tolerant of white collar criminals such as fraudsters, bankers, tax evaders and expenses fiddlers...It's all theft.

And Kizzy is correct; as a society we are much more tolerant of tax evaders and white-collar criminals / scammers ... all of whom take hundreds, if not thousands of times more than a bottle of vodka. I used to know an HMRC employee who personally stole 60k and helped others to steal hundreds of thousands and he got 6 months in an open prison and a slap on the wrist fine (less than the amount he gained) and no one really thought anything of it... he was just as popular locally as he was before he got caught. |

Also, I used to shoplift as a teen and not once did I ever steal from actual people, or even think about it.

Well you have to work for the HMRC first . To be fair I don't think it was worth it in the end... he had a decent salary had he been doing it by the book, and whilst his friends / acquaintances didn't seem bothered by his actions, I would imagine he would struggle to ever find decent paying / professional work in any sort of financial or accountancy field again. So he's probably stuck on min wage / middle management wage for life now.
